People all over the world have accents of different kinds. This is part of what makes us all unique. If anything, your comment makes you sound not only uneducated, but bigoted.<BR/><BR/>The fact that your only response to the political attitude on this site is to attack someone's accent speaks volumes about your character and you inability to make any salient arguements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-32255975325779752672007-10-30T13:27:00.000-02:302007-10-30T13:27:00.000-02:30Canada IS the best place on the planet and if you ...Canada IS the best place on the planet and if you don'think so, feel free to find a better place.<BR/><BR/>And by the way, the Newfoundland accent is not "quaint"--it's annoying and sounds uneducated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11333084.post-31027120342249539832007-10-29T22:02:00.000-02:302007-10-29T22:02:00.000-02:30Hey calvin.

There's problems in our federal system for sure and there will no doubt always remain some animosity between the Provinces and Ottawa as they are locked in a power struggle.
